RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 02/22/2006 07:09 am When I saw the picture, I recalled our metallurgy lesson. This one may be a planchett fault, rather than die fault. If The die was broken so harsh, I don't think it could make any mark on that area. I think-just thinking aloud- the planchet had a subsurface fault produced while the sheet was rolled, and before it was struck, a layer peeled off in that section. That's only my thought, if anyone has seen sth like this and knows why it happened, please share:) Report this Post to the Staff
